St.Patricks Day!
St. Patrick's is a holiday that is celebrated on March 17 it is known to be a religious and cultural. It is a holiday mainly for the Irish. St. Patrick is known to be a patron saint and apostle of Ireland. It is said that he died on March 17 , 461. As time went on, more legend came across about Saint Patrick in the Irish culture. if you where wondering why they use the clover its because, one of the legends is the holy trinity: father,the son and the holy spirit (history.com,2013) , which represents the 3 leaves of a clover. The first Irish parade was held here in the united states, and not in Ireland ...shocking huh? lol. I think its a very interesting holiday, that i always heard of , but never really knew what it was, until now.
